The motives are irrelevant. Russia has won a significant portion of the Ukraine that they have proven to be capable of holding on to. They also have millions more men. Zelensky should cut his losses instead of continuing to doom his finite supply of 40 year old conscripts to a hopeless meat grinder. |

Russia is such a bizarre country. By western estimates, they've suffered between 470,000 and 720,000 casualties since invading Ukraine two and a half years ago. And for what? They already had Crimea and Donbas since 2014. Their gains have been marginal and in the meantime they've lost most of the Black Sea fleet, nearly all their armor and artillery, a high proportion of their air force, all of their Spetsnaz and VDV special forces, and hundreds of thousands of poorly trained soldiers.
And then today, a day before a NATO summit, they decide to do a massive missile barrage against civilian targets in Ukraine, including two hospitals in Kyiv, with particular attention directed at a children's oncology ward. Russia is such a garbage nation. Hopefully, this NATO summit leads to significantly more Patriot air defense batteries for Ukraine. Clearly, Ukraine's air defense is insufficient. Poland is chomping at the bit to take it to the Russians. And that is a significant military force. I wouldn't be surprised if other nations start to get involved in the foreseeable future. Russia is a menace to the entire region. It is in everyone's interest to see Russia crushed. |

You must have missed the discussion. Posters were falsely trying to claim that the hospital was destroyed by a US-made Patriot fired by Ukraine but that's impossible because they have rocket engines, whereas the missile that hit the hospital was a Russian KH-101 missile which is turbojet powered. They were trying to blame Ukraine and the US for the strike on the hospital - a blatant lie. All outrage lies with Russia. |

Any American trying to make that argument is a traitor. |
No missile hit the hospital though. A missile hit a building next to the hospital and sprayed the hospital with shrapnel. The Ukrainian side then went full Maude Flanders for pages and pages, when I don't even think there was a confirmed casualty from that missile. That alone should tell you it wasn't an X-101 aimed at the hospital. The red white and blue shills are now arguing with the blue and yellow shills over whose missile blew out the windows of the hospital. This is because there is a NATO summit starting tomorrow, and Ukraine needs some good propaganda to keep the money flowing. |
Truth. How much of Ukraine does Blackrock own so far? |
Any American trying to make the false argument that what was obviously a Russian cruise missile that did damage to a childrens hospital was instead an American missile fired by Ukrainians would indeed be a traitor, yes. |
In what war does any country or military follow the rules? |
